VENEZUELA. Caracas. 1/4 Real, 1805. Caracas Mint. Charles IV. NGC EF-45. EMO-253.1 (Plate coin); KM-C2; Cal-6 var. (regular denomination); Stohr-2. Already an <strong>EXTREMELY RARE</strong> type, the present example is the only one found in CoinArchives with the "4" in the denomination shown correctly and not in retrograde. This issue is almost never found in such a wholesome state, unmarred by corrosion. As such, all of its details including the date, city name, central devices, and denomination appear boldly on the handsome brown surfaces. An exceptional coin worthy of strong bids by Venezuelan specialists. <strong>To view all items from the EMO Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=EMO+Collection&limit=96&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the EMO Collection.<p><p>Privately purchased from Freeman Craig.
